Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has made an assessment of the capacity of his Department's workforce to produce a new statutory fire regulatory framework.

Dame Judith Hackitt’s report calls for major reform of the regulatory system and for culture change across the construction and fire safety industries. The government agreed with the broad principles of the report and committed to bring forward legislation.

The Home Office and Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government are working with partners to consider the detail of Dame Judith’s recommendations and will set out an implementation plan in the autumn.
